(NEWSER) – One of the strangest lawsuits of the year so far is no more. The New Jersey 18-year-old who moved out of her parents' home and then sued them for financial support has dropped her suit, reports the Star-Ledger. A judge today agreed to the dismissal after deciding that Rachel Canning had made a "knowing and voluntary decision." He also said raising teenagers can be tough and urged both sides to "look forward and not back." Today's move wasn't a huge surprise given that Canning hadmoved back home a week ago, but the litigation was still in limbo at that point.
